I have long had the desire to write. I have on occasion contemplated tackling something along the lines of writing a book. Those dreams usually die after about two days as I get completely overwhelmed by my inability to "keep it simple stupid." So, here I am trying my hand at blogging. Don't worry, I have no delusions about being consistant or reliable, so this will most likely be the only one there ever will be.
As to the name of the blog, it comes from a song by the band Children 18:3, the song is "Wonder I."
Step into the window/ What about the sun?
Follow me outside/ When rain's are coming down?
I don't have the reasons/ Can we race the wind?
If we feel inclined
Wonder, wonder I
If I stood on your shoulders, could I touch the sky?
When will you die?
Where will you go?
Wonder, wonder I
Sister cast a shadow/ Brother tell me why
You're holding back the sun/ No! It can't be done
We're towering to these spiders/ But I feel so small
It's alright/ Is it ok?
It's ok, I feel small too
Wonder, wonder I
If I stood on your shoulders, could I touch the sky?
When will you die?
Where will you go?
Wonder, wonder I
You and I standing here throwing pebbles in the water
As they fall watch the circles growing farther and farther
To no end like Daddy said, they carry on into Forever
Wonder, wonder I
If I stood on your shoulders, could I touch the sky?
When will you die?
Where will you go?
Wonder, wonder I
What if we don't make it, wonder I
Hey look at me, we'll be just fine
I guess the overall idea behind this is that this is something I want my kids to read someday. I want them to know that they can always count on me to be there for them. But regardless of what happens I want them to know that it's ok, I feel small too.
